  1. You know this survalience hasn't really poanned out in regards to stopping "terrorism", look at France, San Berndino.

    So I am left scratching my head exactly what use is this data?

    I mean it's really only useful to spy on your population this way if you believe them to be the threat.

    But why would a nation force fed illegal immigration, the shipping of jobs overseas, the repeated financial thefts by large banks who were then bailed out, illegal wars, and a massive growing security apparatus costing billions being built next to crumbling public infrastructure be a threat?

  2. All the corps whose services and devices you should never use.

  3. No such thing as bias in programming, (sarcasm) besides what we think we know is one thing, what is actually out there is another.

  4. No info and an April 1st deadline? WTF /.

  5. Highest incidence of alcohol related brain shrinkage in the World, in addition "abo hunting" went on right up to the early 60's.

    Nothing from Amazon which is a notorious front for bait n switch tactics, "variable" shipping cost, fake reviews, and a whole host of poor employee treatment scenarios..

    Amazon is shit...

    It’s worth noting here that the partnership is less about helping consumers navigate their toys around public thoroughfares than it is about exploring legitimate business scenarios. While the likes of Amazon are currently looking into “delivery by drone” initiatives, there are also many other use-cases across numerous industries that could see UAVs taken to the next level./quote
    So commercial drones will use cell networks for data and video?
    Yet consumers with "unlimited" data plans get throttled, cell phone calls drop routinely, and the trend (for the consumer) seems to be less service for more money.
    And now Amazon's drones (and others) are going to be clogging the network....

  10. When you can be force fed.

    Convenience is the death of free will.

  11. Re:this is a criminal investigation vs two decease on Why Are Apple's Competitors Staying Silent On the iPhone Unlocking Fight? · · Score: 1

    Apple knows this, Apple is putting on a big show for their customers "we care about your privacy", they picked this battle to lose, in effect losing allows them to maintain "face" with their customers and comply with the FED's request.

    This was planned, this is theatre, and you really shouldn't be buying Apple products.

  12. They already know how it's going to turn out, because it is all just theatre, Apple will comply again because they already have complied in the past.

    Apple just want their consumers to keep believing in the myth of Apple.

  13. No details, and it's 2016, shouldn't that brain be liquid cooled?

    You're assuming Apple isn't working with them, this is all smoke and mirrors with Cook tryign to sound like he cares.

    Ninja please.... if Apple is being asked to decrypt it, and they are not saying "We can't" then it tells you the phone and its "encryption" are already compromised.

  21. Just the fact that Apple is being asked to DECRYPT a phone tells you it can be done.

    Sounds like the problem was your local politicians... I guess they work for the highest payer otherwise the cabs companies wouldn't have gotten away with that.

  24. One though on the matter. on City of Austin Locked In Regulations Battle With Uber, Lyft · · Score: 1

    Uber needs your credit card to work, my advice is too let the local governments tell Uber how it's going to be, because if Uber makes the decisions you have no say.

    You may wind up with a corporation dictating law and in possession of your credit card and little you can do about any problems that may arise.
    If you read how Uber has pushed out its business ideas to other nations it is very like shoving a wad of paper down someone’s throat.

    Be cautious, Uber is not a friendly corp.
